Urban Green Spaces: Boosting Community Well-being through Horticulture and Design
February 1, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Join CSU’s School of Global Environmental Sustainability’s Global Challenges Research Team for a panel discussion on Enhancing Urban Community Well-being through Horticulture and Design
Eighty-two percent of Americans live in cities, but large cities are often considered to be places associated with increased violence and poverty. How can green spaces, such as gardens, parks, and playgrounds, make a difference? Impacts of green spaces on individual and community well-being (physical, emotional, and social) will be explored through this panel discussion.
Panelists:
Kathleen Wolf, University of Washington
Jen Bousselot, Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture, CSU
Alison O’Connor, CSU Extension, Larimer County
Brad Goetz, Department of Horticulture and Landscape, CSU
